Marta Bobic “It's tough for emerging talent to be seen in such a competitive industry.
SHINY is a true champion of unsigned and underrepresented directors”
TESTIMONIALS
Hero Films recently found their director @juliane_taudt through Shiny
Here’s a great case study with insights into Juliane & Hero Films’ process for @SkinandMeHQ
Rob Sanderson: “Shiny was my first award entry and win which led to me entering other awards like British Arrows, which I won. The Shiny win gave me the confidence (and excuse) to cold email production companies with something interesting in the subject line. And that eventually led to me working with Rattling Stuff, alongside Rattling Stick, one of the UK’s most respected production companies”
HOW SHINY IS DIFFERENT
SHORTLIST QUOTAS
Shiny are the only Awards in the world to apply shortlist quotas.
Unlike other, majority-based industry awards, 70% of the works screened at the Shiny Awards are by under-represented directors.
PRACTICAL PRIZES
Shiny Awards’ prize connections with leading industry contacts rapidly accelerate new directors’ careers.
Newer talents win meetings with brand & agency in-house producers, experienced reps & EPs, creating realistic opportunities to get more work.
Proven talents who are ready to break through to big budget work win meetings with agency ECDs, creatives, agency CPOs and HoPs.
COMMITMENT
Shiny is ground-breaking.
We run Awards like no-one else, and we get more new & diverse directors into advertising.
We have a DEI advisory board to keep us accountable to our mission.
